  • Wheel identification

    looking for assistance as I have been left with 2 different wheel sizes.

    This rear clincher rim came on my 1929 model B single barn find.
    it measures 21 inches across 20 inches minus the clincher lips. 2.5 inches wide edge to edge.

    I recently received a front wheel purchased from a reputable community member and it is smaller 19 inches across 18 inches minus lip and 2.5 wide.

    my question is what does a 20 inch clincher wheel such as this belong to ? It seems incorrect for my 29 single.

    thank you.

    20" may have been an option,but probably '26-'27 singles

      20 inch rim is for a 26 x 3 beaded edge/clincher tyre
      18 inch rim is for a 25 x 3.85 beaded edge/clincher tyre
      Harley used both these tyre sizes.
      My eyes are not good enough to id your wheels but keep under consideration that the Flat Twin Sport Harley wheels are almost the same as single ones and easily confused.

        Thanks for the info I guess I’m searching for an 18 inch clincher wheel. Hopefully I can re-lace this same rear hub from the 20 inch into it? I’m told my front 18 inch wheel with the small 6 inch brake is correct for 29 and hard to find so I’d like to use it.
